Nigerian students who have been evacuated from Sudan will be enrolled in Nigeria's universities, according to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, which has pledged to offer the required assistance.
Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, gave a speech on Tuesday while Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the NIDCOM Chairman, was in attendance.
To discuss integrating Sudanese returning students into Nigerian higher institutions, Dabiri-Erewa led other people to the JAMB headquarters.
Oloyede promised the board would help the Sudanese students who were returning fit in.
Oloyede's Statement:
"What we'll do is make sure you have the infrastructure and resources necessary to make accommodations for or admit these applicants back into our educational system."Transferring students is handled according to rules. The transcript, the rules and regulations, and nobody should harbor the illusion that Nigerian universities will grant degrees to students who have completed less than two years of full-time enrollment and residency there. The procedure is carried out legally and correctly with the assistance of each institution and the National Universities Commission."
The head of JAMB further clarified that transfer students must enroll in at least two academic sessions.
"If you're doing a five-year program, you'll start in year four because you'll be spending year 4 and 5," Oloyede continued.
